Thank you so much for this thoughtful reply!

Confession time, I was going off the memory of playing early in the morning while half drunk, haha. And I was particularly fixated on the exact phrase you called out as being in Bb major... that F works too well and was really calling out to me there. I do remember thinking "maybe G minor?" but I was so wrapped up in that hook!

I haven't made time to revisit the song yet but I'm quite sure I'll find your analysis to be correct. I've always been good at playing by ear but lately I'm teaching myself music theory and while I still get things wrong I still enjoy learning through the mistakes! This is what I love about music.

Thanks for the other recommendations as well! Chord progressions are the latest thing I've come around to understanding, and yeah once you get familiar with one you start clocking it everywhere in popular music. The Doo Wop progression is one of my favorites to play around with. I'll check out your links next time I get to play, thanks again!

Oh yeah that "Just The Two Of Us" progression is lovely! Exciting

It's grillpillism I think. Let the LLMs jabber about politics so the human beings can ponder loftier notions? I dunno.

Improvising harmonies on my electric piano along with the Deltarune soundtrack. Feels good just to vibe out and get lost in catchy music. Pretty sure Field of Hopes and Dreams is in B flat major. Stay tuned, like, and subscribe for more of my music theory breakdowns

I loved Sea of Stars! Same studio did The Messenger and they have neat little tie-ins. Really felt like they took everything from the 16-bit action RPG genre and distilled out just the good stuff. Lovely game

The Messenger is a real gem of a game. Ninja Gaiden meets Metroid, lovely pixel art (should run on anything), a banging chiptune soundtrack, super tight gameplay, funny writing, and it's currently 80% off. If you like platformers and metroidvanias you got to check it out.

Listening to this while going top speed through the level, doin sick ninja moves fuckin wrecking shop, it's some of the most fun I've ever had playing video games, the whole game is such a treat when you unlock all the movement upgrades and get good at flying around everywhere

I like your style. I see somebody rate ZeroRanger 10/10, I know we're cool.

They definitely are, no matter their age

The best new laptop is the one sold by your local ewaste recycler after being checked over and refurbed with a fresh install of Mint! If you don't have one of those shops handy then buy refurbed online. I hear Thinkpads are good though. My shop has never had one when I've needed new gear.

Orange Kid aged poorly but at least he perfected the Suporma
